It has room for improvement
In it's current state it is fun and functional yet tedious in some aspects that could be improved upon in next updates.

The good stuff
-Multiplayer is going buttery smooth currently.
-Fishing is fun and requires effort.
-Automatization of mining, farming crops and farming enemies is very good and fun to figure out.

The bad stuff
-Having so many enemies always loaded in takes too much resources from a computer.
-There's a bug that makes growing Glow tulips near decorative torces make the torches lose their light source capabilities, making them emit no light until they are broken and placed again.

Things that could be changed:
-Doors should open when the player collisions with them and close behind them after they've gone through them, either make all doors do it or make electrical doors do it, Pressure plates for Electrical doors is way too slow to use comfortably, so they could speed up the Electrical door opening animation instead too.
-Furniture that takes 1x2 blocks should be able to be rotate so they take that space upwards, it would help with positioning them in bases
-Being able to plant seeds in 2x2 or 3x3 blocks instead of 1 at the time, for balance that could be blocked until you reach a certain level of Gardening

Things that could be added
-Dyes for armor would be nice, with the same colors as painted furniture and they could be crafted at the painter's table to give it more use.
-More lances/spear kind of weapons.
-More NPCs that sell things for Ancient Coins, with the 3 that area available you can have chests full of them without giving them use, alternatively they could make the current NPCs sell more things.
-Displaying the number on top of the hot bar slot could be nice, it would make putting things there from the inventory by pressing the number keys less tedious.
-More uses for Scrap, same thing as the coins, you can fill up chests with it without giving them use.
-Buckets to transport liquids, running around to different biomes to fish in different water types is tedious and dangerous.
-A key combination to automatically put items in the trash bucket in the inventory, dragging them over there is tedious.
-Official mod support similar to the Tmodloader that to the one game this one made a crossover with has, but later on when the game is completed.

But still while being a bit rough around the edges it is worth buying.

A waste of time and money, the game is really tedious and lacks content, and it doesn't receive support from the developers anymore, the only things that keeps the game kind of alive are the workshop stuff that most of the time doesn't work properly with eachother, you gotta add around 40 mods to fix up the game and make it somewhat enjoyable, and that speaks badly of the game's quality when you have to add so much mods just to make it fun, you know, the thing games are supposed to be by themselves.
The story is simple and kinda skippable, which is what I recommend since the scan quests are tedious and there's not much pay off from the story, there's not much pay off from doing quests period, the content that is there is lacking and boring and lacks a ton of quality of life stuff by itself.

I played it a few hours, it's a good game I guess.
